Deepika Padukone stuns with a swept back, messy hairdo

Sleek, swept-back hair is all the rage nowadays, thanks to the Kardashians flaunting the trend everywhere they go. From the red carpet to the ramp, the look has turned enough heads to catch the fancy of celebrities all over the world. But our desi ones have never been ones to follow a trend blindly. Deepika Padukone puts a twist in the tale with this fantastically messy version.

Get the look:Wash your hair with a revitalising shampoo and a nourishing conditioner to restore moisture lost during the summer. Apply a volumising serum and use a hair straightener to get sleek tresses. Divide your hair into two sections, starting above your ears. Tie the bottom section with an elastic. Use a styling mousse over the open section of your hair and tease it right from the ends to the roots with a comb. Once you’ve backcombed the entire section, use your fingers to sweep the hair back away from your face. Don’t worry if it’s messy. Once you’re happy with the placement and fall of your hair, let the bottom section of your hair loose, and spritz on some strong hold and shine hairspray to finish. Use a straightener on the bottom section of your hair once you let it loose to emphasise the sleek-messy contrast.
